About the Seminar

What created the counterculture of the 1960s? Was it the coming of age of the baby-boomers and with that the swelling of college enrollments? Or perhaps the rise of generational consciousness? Certainly, post-War affluence had something to do with it. And what about the maturation of TV, especially TV news? The Sixties would not be the Sixties without the antiwar movement, and, of course, the civil rights movement set much of the tone for the entire period. Find out how these and other forces came together to create one of the most tumultuous decades in American history.
